Pet Sitting Eastside

“She did a great job taking care of our four cats. She proved herself to be reliable and responsible. Will use her again in the future.”

About: I offer one-on-one attention: no rushing, no multitasking, just your pet. If your pet is a pup/kitten, senior or any age in between, your loved one will receive the utmost care, patience, gentleness and consistency. From our very first meet and greet, I focus on learning your pet's specific routine, quirks, and comfort cues, so that by the time a booking starts, they're not just "watched," they're understood. Every visit, whether it's a quick drop-in or an extended stay, your pet gets the same undivided attention. My love for animals started young, growing up in a house full of pets — dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, and fish — which taught me early on that every creature has its own personality and needs. A couple of notes: I currently care for dogs up to 40lbs, and I require a meet and greet before every booking, no exceptions — it's how I make sure your pet feels safe with me from day one. Ask for VIP services include mail and delivery package pickups, coordinating pet care directly with live in house manager, etc. Fully fluent in English and Spanish. Service areas include Greater Los Angeles, UCLA area, DTLA, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Bel-Air, Malibu, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, and Ventura. I’m semi-retired and have a flexible schedule. To walk, sit or take care of a pet as well as I take care of mine would be a joy. I often pet sit friends’ pets when they travel on vacation or business. I’m go-to person to take care of pets while friends and family are out of town, busy at work, or they need to take pets to vet appointments. I also walk, sit and sometimes stay overnight with them. During 25+ years of doing so no one has had a complain about my care or how I handled their pets.

About: I have owned two large dogs before a German Shepard, and a lab Shepard mix . I also understand that some dogs are energetic and need more exercise so I am patient with those doggos too! I am also attentive to their health and body language and I will communicate with you whether I notice anything concerning. I work full time from 8-5pm Mon-Friday. I am available early mornings before 7am or after 5pm on the weekdays and any time on the weekends. I cannot board dogs or cats however I am more than happy to watch them in their home! I will also be attentive to specific care instructions for your pets.

“What a wonderful sitter! My two cats were so well cared for and updates were helpful and cute:) Thsnk you!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them is something I truly love! I especially enjoy getting dogs outside, whether it’s a relaxed walk or a fun, active adventure, I’m always happy to match their energy. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and I understand how much dogs mean to their families, so I treat every pup like my own. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. You can expect lots of walks, playtime, and plenty of tail wags! 🐾 I am currently a full-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup. I’m available throughout the week for walks and droppins and the weekends for sitting, and I can adjust my schedule to fit your dog’s needs. I’m reliable and make sure to stay consistent with routines so your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I am committed to caring for your pet like my own, whether in your home or out on walks and adventures. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by following your pet’s routine, keeping a clean and secure environment, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. I make sure your pet feels relaxed and happy while you’re away, and I’m always attentive to their individual needs and behavior. You can count on me to be responsible, communicative, and to provide updates so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Matthew was great watching our cats and made sure the house was in great shape and the cats were happy and healthy.”

About: Hi, I’m Lana (short for Svetlana). I’ve always had a deep love for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. While I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve spent years caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities, including senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand every pet is different and adjust my care to fit their needs—whether that means a slower, gentler pace for senior dogs, active playtime for puppies, or simply keeping them comfortable and relaxed. I’ve also had the unique experience of walking dogs down the aisle at weddings and caring for them throughout the event, so couples can fully enjoy their special day. I stay calm, reliable, and confident in both everyday care and high-energy, special moments. It’s important to me that every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and give them the attention they deserve. I work full-time during the week with two days from home, but on the weekends, my schedule is completely open and I can ensure potty breaks every 1-2 hours. Just let me know what your dog’s needs are :) We sure can work it out. I will always make sure to never leave your dog unattended. Your dog deserves attention and safety is very important to all of us. I will care for your dog as if it’s my own.

About: I have 2 years of hands-on dog care, regularly watching a large Golden Retriever and a medium Chihuahua–Dachshund mix. I’m comfortable with strong pullers and high-energy pups, and I’m just as gentle with small dogs. I follow your routines for meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime, and I send clear updates with photos after each visit. Safety and calm handling are my priorities—I keep leashes secure, monitor weather and hydration, and tidy up after outdoor fun. I can help with brushing and basic cues like sit/stay/leave-it. Your dog will get patient, reliable care and lots of affection every time. I work fully remote, so I’m home and attentive most of the day. I pop out once daily for the gym (about an hour) and plan visits around it. I’m available for morning, lunchtime, and evening walks/check-ins, plus overnight house sitting when needed. Weekends are open. Your pup’s meals, potty breaks, and playtime fit naturally into my routine, and I send quick updates so you always know how they’re doing. I follow your dog’s routine exactly—feeding, meds, crate, and house rules. I double-check doors and gates, keep dogs leashed unless you’ve approved a secure fenced area, and handle both strong pullers (Golden Retriever) and small dogs (Chiweenie) with calm, confident control. I monitor heat/cold, carry water, wipe paws, clean bowls, and tidy up before I leave. Home stays locked and secure, and you’ll get clear photo updates every visit.

About: I’ve spent over 30 years caring for dogs and other animals, both personally and professionally. My approach is intuitive, compassionate, and grounded in a lifetime of hands-on experience. I run a local Montecito dog walking business, working with dogs of all breeds and specializing in big, athletic, and high-energy dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. As a Montecito-based business owner and endurance athlete, I spend much of my time on the trails and beaches — often with a dog by my side. My lifelong love of animals, combined with my endurance background, makes me especially well-suited for larger or high-energy breeds. I genuinely love bonding with dogs and take pride in being a calm, confident presence — a natural pack leader they can trust. I care for the dogs I walk as if they were my own — with plenty of love, attention, and respect for their individual needs. I’m known for giving dogs the exercise they truly crave, whether that’s an energizing trail walk, a beach romp, or a steady neighborhood outing. I stay fully present and engaged, making sure each walk is safe, stimulating, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and personality.

“Cheryl is a terrific cat sitter. My cats warmed up to her immediately and she spent time playing with them and my finicky male even let her brush him and he loved it. She also left calming music in for them and it was so good to come home to relaxed kitties.”

About: I absolutely love animals and especially dogs. I love walking them, taking them on fun outdoor adventures and also checking in on them while you are out and about. I may not currently have a pet of my own but I promise I will love yours as if they were my own. My schedule is very open and I make my own hours with the part-time work that I do. Plenty of time to visit with and walk your fur-baby! I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhoods. Also, I can come and visit with them at your home as much as needed.

“Always great when we book with Leo - very attentive and flexible. Good communication while we were away, and we came home to a very happy cat! Will book again, for sure.”

About: Aside from growing up with dogs, cats, a rabbit, hamsters and pet rats, my dog experience spans since a child to present time. I’ve cared for many different breeds,, sizes, temperaments, ages and personalities. I volunteer at a local shelter, so I’ve been fortunate enough to work with dogs from different backgrounds and circumstances. Your pets well-being, safety and enjoyment are my passion and priority. I’m fortunate to work from home so it makes the dog caring experience flexible and attentive. It can be all day or a few hours as needed. I don’t have any pets, so the focus and care will be centered around your dog. I have a fenced yard and patio area for naps in the sun and bathroom breaks. If the sitting is done at the dogs own home, I can take my work with me and follow a routine that they are used to.

About: More Than a Dog Walker — Your Pet’s Person When you’re away, your dog shouldn’t just be “checked on.” They deserve attention, affection, patience, and care that makes them feel safe, happy, and loved. That’s exactly what I strive to provide. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind—even when you’re only going to be gone for the day. My goal is to give you something just as important as great pet care: peace of mind. You can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in caring, capable hands and getting the individual attention they deserve. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from Great Danes to Chihuahuas, and I understand that every dog has their own routine, quirks, energy level, and way of communicating. Whether your pup needs a walk to burn off some energy, a relaxed potty break and some cuddles, a meal and fresh water, or simply a little companionship while you're away, I’ll follow their routine and treat them as an individual—not just another appointment. I leave my weekends open and dedicated to pet care. I do my best to clear my schedule that way it allows me to focus 100 percent on walks or drop-ins, without daytime distractions. Thank you for considering me to take care of your animal(s). They will be cherished and loved while you are away. I welcome calls or texts anytime and I will always be very prompt at getting back to you. Also, if you need daily pictures texted to you of your furry loved ones, I’d be happy to do that.

About: Pet training is one of my many specialties, so if you have any puppies I will be more than happy to help you train them! I enjoy taking care of senior pets, giving them all the extra love and care that they need. If you are in need of someone to care and love your furry friends, please reach out to me. I have open availability! I’m currently working a part time in the city of Santa Barbara so I have lots of time to be able to spend with your pets and I hope to meet them soon. Pet care in my home is taken very seriously, as I own 5 cats I make sure all are well fed always hydrated and they have their own cat patio, all are kept safely indoors and partially outdoors. Cat litters are always maintained and kept clean. With dog care it’s also taken seriously I have two senior dogs whom I always make sure are being walked twice a day for only a limited of time as they are senior dogs too much walking can be bad on their joints, I also own a younger pup whom I take on daily walks/hikes and is trained from basic training to cool tricks. This not only describes how much I care for my dogs but also how extensive my care can go as well for yours pups and kitty’s.

“Great vibe and super reliable sitter, she got the pups up and running around when all they wanted to do was lay on the couch as usual. We’ll use Ashley again for sure!”

About: I’m a caring and dedicated pet sitter who understands how much your pets mean to you. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their unique personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication, I provide thoughtful and attentive care to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated and make sure you have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are being cared for with kindness and compassion. I work Wednesday through Saturday from 10-6pm which leaves me available all day Sunday through Tuesday, as well as early mornings, and late evenings, and overnight care the rest of the week. I’m happy to accommodate pet sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays whenever my schedule allows. I strive to be flexible and reliable so your pets receive the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I take the time to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also help keep your home tidy by cleaning up after your pet, refreshing water bowls, and respecting your space as if it were my own. Throughout my visits or stay, I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: My motto is that it’s my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I’m with your pup , I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it’s my duty to make sure that your pup gets to experience the same kind of love and care that they’re used to at home . I’m a huge dog lover, so making pups as happy as can just come second nature for me ! Although I’ve been a lifelong dog lover, my experience with pups is much more far reaching than that. I’ve worked with dogs big and small and loved taken care of all of them equally It’s always great to chat with owners about what makes their pup tick ! Finally , I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all

“Bekah was great! Our dog can be a handful but was no problem for Bekah! She provided us with Rover cards and photos while we were away.”

About: Hi I’m Jen! Have cared for dogs and cats many times as well as other furry friends and reptiles. Grew up with a variety of pets and am a cat lover- I have been called the cat whisperer as even shy, slow to warm up cats have warmed up to me. Love all furry friends as well. And very much enjoy and appreciate spending time with a sweet pup who loves affection too. Ask about my first time special house sit rates or multiple cat special rates. I’m in the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S. currently though I get out to the east coast regularly too. And will be visiting Europe later this year/next year. I enjoy travel and have lived overseas for a couple years as an English teacher. Open to extended sits. I enjoy learning about the history, art and culture of new places. Let me know if you have flexible dates/are considering a trip and would be glad to work something out with you!
